Wake up as normal this morning around 5am, sneak out of the room quietly as not to wake the wife. The dogs follow me out and down the stairs as I head toward the coffee pot that is already full. The first light a turn on is the stove light. But this morning I stopped just short. I do not know why ....just had a weird feeling. Reached over and flipped on the kitchen lights. On the ground at my feet is a 1 inch long scorpion....

Walked to the coffee table were I rolled up the latest issue of Golf Digest... 250 pages of ads, and 50 of articles. Whacked said scorpion in to the tile.....

100's of baby scorpions that were on its back scramble in 100 different directions.

Moral of the story...do not simply whack large scorpions. I knew this, but it did not register at 5am.

Have been in this house 2 years with out seeing a scorpion. I failed to tell the wife about this mornings incident as she will freak. Besides..I think I killed all the babies.

There is no such thing as scorpion poison. Nothing kills them. The best you can do is spray the yard for the crickets they eat.

I would rather put up with scorpions than mosquitoes and roaches.....

None of the common ones are dangerous unless you are allergic, or a very small dog, or a infant. Being stung is equal to a bee sting.

We walked out of the liquor store where we had been being silly and stealing touches and he shoved me up against the side of the building and attacked my mouth. Losing time and all sense of decorum is new to me. Wanting to dive into this guy is new to me.

I would have sprayed it with a CO2 fire extiguisher. You could have frozen them all in place. And stored them with Ted Williams head.
